The Rebirth of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Chahar liked the little things in Lin Daiyu's courtyard very much, so he came to Chuyu Pavilion more diligently, and the two fed a dog, a cat and a bird to make them fatter.

Lin Daiyu is very happy to have someone to talk to with her to cool off the heat in her spare time.

On this day, the servants suddenly reported that Second Grandma Jia was visiting. After hearing that, Mrs. Chahar wanted to entertain her, but Lin Daiyu restrained her smile.

Lin Daiyu still remembers the incident when Mother Jia came to threaten her. She was embarrassed to shake her face when there was a happy event at home, but Lin Daiyu didn't want to bear it anymore.

"What is mother up to, first help me to see how to embroider this flower." Lin Daiyu sat in front of the embroidery frame and waved to Chahar.

Mrs. Chahar thought about it, she didn't have to kiss her niece and she was not sad about her mother's visit, and her own step-wife rushed to catch up. Who knows how much secrets there are, so the two sat together and discussed the embroidery work for most of the day.

Wang Xifeng sat in the flower hall and drank tea for a long time before someone came to report that the master and the young master at home were not there, and the wives and girls had gone out to make an appointment, and there was no one.As soon as Wang Xifeng heard of the violent temper, she wanted to put down the tea bowl and scold the servant, but also thought of Jiamu's advice, so she had to hold back and go back first.

Wang Xifeng rushed back to Rongguo Mansion in a hurry, went straight to Rongqing Hall, and complained in front of Jia Mu: "I came to visit with a good voice, but when I entered the door, I was led to the flower hall, and I didn't hear from you after drinking tea." , This is obviously embarrassing to the granddaughter-in-law. Old lady, the granddaughter-in-law will be ashamed to death."

Mother Jia snorted, "I told you to wait for a long time before saying that there is no one at home? What's the reason? Chahar's is really unreasonable."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "That's right. No one is making trouble anymore. It's just this Chahar family who prevents the old lady from getting close to her grandson and granddaughter. Who knows what kind of peace she has."

Jia Mu then sighed: "Oh... my poor Yu'er..."

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were in the house earlier, at this time Mrs. Xing came up with an idea: "It's better to take my niece here for a few days, she is lonely at home, and I can play with Yingchun here."

Mrs. Wang glanced at her, then lowered her head, Wang Xifeng turned her head slightly, and said nothing.Mrs. Wang doesn't care much about her. Wang Xifeng is a daughter-in-law, so it's hard to say that she is a serious mother-in-law.

Jia Muguo said indifferently: "Yu'er's father is back, what's the point of going to other people's homes all the time, I can't bear to see their father and daughter separated."

Mrs. Xing curled her lips secretly, she said it nicely, but she was actually afraid that Jia Baoyu would go crazy again.

Last time, just hearing someone call Lin Daiyu "sister-in-law" last time, he was so sick that he tried to die, and then he recovered from his illness. It seemed that he had forgotten Lin Daiyu, but sometimes he was lost and lost.Now Mother Jia ordered that no one in the whole house be allowed to mention the words "Lin Daiyu" and "Sister Lin", for fear that it would stir up his old illness, and it would be a disaster.

Therefore, even if Mother Jia was unwilling to give up the line of the Lin family, she would only dare to ask Wang Xifeng to visit the Lin family, and never dared to invite Lin Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion.

Few of them are old and noble families who can hold real power in the court, and more of them are waiting for their decline with their titles. It is rare for Lin Hai to hold an important position and win the favor.Therefore, Mother Jia pondered for a long time, but she was not willing to give up the line of the Lin family.

At the end of Jia's mother, she said: "Well, in two days, Lian's daughter-in-law will go to my uncle's house again. I don't know what my poor Yu'er has been grinded into."

Mrs. Wang was very annoyed, she didn't know what was good about the Lin family, so she let Jia's mother hold her tightly.In terms of family wealth, the simple Lin family is not as good as Jia Shiwang Xue, and in terms of power, Jia Mu came from a family of historians, and she has an elder brother, Prince Teng, who is the governor of nine provinces, and is a family friend with the Zhen family in Jinling. , relying on the prince as a backer.Lin Hai is a lone minister, just a few days after he was named Jia Yibo, and the people he met were all poor Gu Badai, who couldn't pick out two taels of greasy food on a table, not to mention the crooked and troublesome Lin Daiyu, so What is there to make friends with?

Mrs. Wang was so angry that her heart ached, but she didn't dare to speak out, for fear of offending Jia's mother and getting hanged.Wang Xifeng was even more reluctant to put a hot face on someone's cold butt, but she didn't dare to disobey Jia's mother, so she could only agree reluctantly.

Afterwards, Wang Xifeng really came to visit the Lin family from time to time, bringing a girl from the Jia family with her, and sometimes by herself.But the Lin family evaded it seven or eight times out of ten, and the Jia family seemed to be unable to understand the rejection, and it was exhausting.

Originally, the two families were in-laws, but the Lin family got married again, so it's normal to have a relationship with the Jia family.However, Jia's family insisted on reconciling with Lin's family as before, and it was sticky like brown sugar and couldn't be peeled off, which made people look sideways.

Chahar's kindness to the Lin family's children should be shared by the mistress. Why do they have to meet and deal with the Jia family all day long?Even my mother's family is not so diligent.

As a result, the Jia and Lin families became the gossip of the people in Beijing. The Lin family has always passed down poems and books, but the Jia family has never been on the stage, so all faults were pushed to the Jia family, and many people secretly I sympathize with the Lin family for getting into such a big trouble.Thinking about it further, the Lin family was originally a scholarly family, even if Lin Hai continued, he would not be so evasive about dealing with the Jia family. Could it be that there is something else going on here?

Wang Xifeng became addicted, but Lin Daiyu still wanted to be clean. She was annoyed, so she said to Chahar: "Mother, please send a name card to the Jia family, saying that I will visit my grandmother's house in the future. If it's convenient, it's not a bad idea to stay there for a few days. Grandma misses me, so I'll go and pay her respects to the elderly in person."

At the end of Lin Daiyu's words, the word "Please Ann" was biting heavily, and Chahar heard the overtones, so she asked one more sentence. Lin Daiyu's face was pale and she couldn't speak, and she said after a while: "Mother is going to ask Father, I can't tell you about this matter." .”

Lin Daiyu was ignorant in her previous life, and she didn't want this debt to last forever in this life.She asked herself that she had never met Jia Baoyu a few times in her life, how did Jia Baoyu go crazy?If it gets out, it will embarrass the Lin family.

It is a scandal in this era of strict etiquette for women to be repeated by a man over and over again.No matter how wronged Lin Daiyu is, she will be blamed by the world for her misbehavior.

Chahar comforted: "Anyway, don't worry about Yu'er, it's just someone else's fault, don't make yourself tired and uneasy."

"Ah."

Although Chahar didn't know why Lin Daiyu wanted to visit Jia's family, he still handed over the name card.Unexpectedly, within an hour of handing it out, Jia's family replied, saying that everyone in Jia's family had gone to the Huguo Temple outside the city to offer incense, and there was no one at home these few days, so Lin Daiyu didn't have to go.

Chahar wondered secretly, and asked Lin Hai at night to know the whole story.After that, the Jia family finally stopped sending anyone, and the Lin family breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qiong's vacation is gone, she reads during the day, and has to deal with various things when she comes back at night. She really doesn't hear what's going on outside the window. By the time she knows about it, it's been a long time.

"Sister, you don't even tell me about this!" Lin Qiong grinned regardless of the ivory, and stroked its hair for a while, messing up the long snow-white hair of the ivory.

Lin Daiyu twirled her needle and thread, and said casually: "It's a trivial matter, there is no need to bother the second master."

Lin Qiong wrinkled her nose and thought for a long time, then said: "No, Jia's family is a big hidden danger, I have to plan carefully."

I don't know that there is no shame in Jia's family, what if one day the matter of Jia Baoyu's love for Lin Daiyu is revealed?Lin Hai is a gentleman, and he never thought that Jia's family would do something that bad people would clean their reputation, but Lin Qiong is not a gentleman, and he thinks that Jia's family is not so kind, so he must take precautions.It's good that Jia's family is smart, if they don't, then don't blame him for being cruel.

Lin Daiyu finally raised her head and asked, "What hidden dangers could there be?"

Lin Qiong waved her hand, signaling that it was difficult to say, but when it came to Chu Yuge's purpose: "The furniture is almost ready, I will show the furniture list to my sister, let you see if there is anything missing, or if there is anything else you want, I will take it together called you."

Lin Daiyu opened it, and there was a dense pile of things, without looking at it carefully, she threw it there and said, "I'll look at it when I finish my work."

Lin Qiong responded with a smile, and said again: "After two days, the purchasers who went to the south also came back, all kinds of curtains, porcelain decorations, etc. By the way, there are also some Western objects."

Lin Daiyu pretended not to hear: "Aren't you very busy, hurry up and go."

Knowing that she was ashamed, Lin Qiong felt emotional and left Chu Yuge.

Lin Qiong swayed out of Chu Yu Pavilion solemnly with her hands behind her back, and met Chahar's head-on. Lin Qiong hurriedly saluted and greeted Chahar's family.

Seeing Lin Qiong's slightly baby-fat face, Chaha'er wanted to laugh, and the eight-year-old child pretended to be an adult.He smiled and asked, "Come to play with your sister?"

Play?The corner of Lin Qiong's mouth twitched, unwilling to answer: "Yes, mother."

Knowing that Lin Qiong was very young, Chahar wanted to tease him, so he said: "At such an age, I still like to hug my sister, even Xuan'er is not as clingy as you, I wish I could come here eight times a day "In fact, Lin Qiong hasn't set foot in Chu Yuge for several days.

Lin Qiong was ashamed, and fled in a hurry after saying a few words, stopping to wipe her sweat after running a long way.Chahar is a duplicity on the outside, dignified on the surface, but actually has a bit of a bad temper, and Lin Qiong is not good at bickering with her, so she is very unwilling to lose.

When it comes to catching Jia's pigtails, Lin Qiong is full of bad things.It's very easy for Jia's family, which is bright on the surface but dirty behind the scenes, to catch something, especially someone who is familiar with the Red Chamber.

Lin Qiong did what he said, regardless of the time when it was getting dark, and ran to the Sanguan Hutong where dragons and snakes mixed together with a young servant, Jiannan, and stopped at the door of a family with familiar roads.

"Second Brother Ni, are you here?" Lin Qiong called out from the doorway.

There was a creaking sound in the yard, and a person ran out to open the door for Lin Qiong, it was the drunk King Ni Er.

"Brother Lin, come in, come in, I was just talking about you with my brother, and you came here without thinking about it."

Lin Qiong smelled alcohol from Ni Er's mouth, and knew that he was drinking with someone, so she smiled and entered the room with his arms.

One person in the room stood up, Lin Qiong took a closer look, and saw that this person had beautiful features and elegant demeanor.Ni Er smiled and introduced them, and Lin Qiong knew that this beautiful young man was Liu Xianglian.

Lin Qiong was greatly surprised, and Ni Er saw it, and smiled proudly: "In the land of the capital, I know everyone who gambles, eats wine, fights cockfights, whether they are good guys or rascals."

After two bowls of wine, the three of them became acquainted, calling each other brothers and talking about everything.Lin Qiong respected Liu Xianglian as a person when he was studying, and at this time, they met each other by fate, so they naturally became friends.

Liu Xianglian respects Lin Qiong as a son of an official, and she treats him and people in the market like Ni Er with all sincerity, and she is forthright, and she likes him quite a bit, and shows her heart and soul.

The three of them had a few rounds of drinking, Lin Qiong didn't want to avoid Liu Xianglian, but Liu Xianglian knew how to avoid it, seeing that the two wanted to talk about business, she said she had something to do and left.

Lin Qiong explained the reason for his visit to Ni Er, and Ni Er was surprised: "Brother Lin, you asked me to help you inquire about Jia's family's profit and seize his family's handle in person. ? Then the Jia family saw your servant, so they must not find fault with you?"

Lin Qiong said: "I will let Jiannan pretend to be passing by, and I will trouble Second Brother Ni to help with a play." Although the evidence is not enough to go to the government to sue the Jia family, it can give the Jia family a wake-up call and let them know in the future The Lin family is not easy to bully.Waiting for another two or three years, the Jia family's handle will be better, and they can pinch it as they want.

Lin Qiong drank another bowl of strong wine, and said with a smile: "Second Brother Ni doesn't know the secrets in the mansion, I just want to pinch them so that I can sleep at ease."

Ni Er asked: "This... the Jia family offended Brother Lin?"

Lin Qiong said: "Second brother Ni, it's a long story. I believe you are a man, and I entrust you as my brother. Don't go out of your pocket."

Ni Erhu glared: "Stinky boy, I dare not believe you, Brother Ni! I spit a nail, and if I don't say it, I don't say it. Even if the old Wang and Laozi come, I will never try to pry a word out of my mouth!"

Lin Qiong laughed and said, "My little brother was rude, and I punished myself with three bowls." Then, he picked up the wine jar and poured three bowls of wine in a row, and then Ni Er laughed, and praised Lin Qiong for being a man .

Lin Qiong smiled wryly, the spirits in his belly were swollen to death, this Ni Erhao is good, but he only agreed willingly if he had to talk about things at the wine table.

Lin Qiong put Jiannan at Jia's house, and staggered out alone.Although he could drink enough, but he was still young, so he was a little dizzy after all.

After solving the two robbers on the way, Lin Qiong was a little embarrassed when he returned home, smelling of alcohol, and was reprimanded by Lin Hai for not mentioning it.

A few days later, Mrs. Wang was reciting scriptures when Wang Xifeng came to her suddenly and waved away all the maids, her face pale.

Wang Xifeng grabbed Mrs. Wang's hand and said, "Ma'am, it's too bad, the matter of giving out profiteering money has been revealed."

Mrs. Wang was surprised: "Does the old lady know?"

Wang Xifeng shook his head: "I was bumped into by a rascal, but Lin Qiong's boy passed by to take care of this business and took away the IOU."

Mrs. Wang was startled and asked her, "Is there your name on the IOU?"

Wang Xifeng said: "No, I was careful. Although there is no signature, if this matter gets out..."

Mrs. Wang naturally knew it was not good, but she couldn't think about it at the moment. She could only pray that Lin Qiong would not guess that it was their fault.

Wang Xifeng suddenly heard that Ping'er was coming from the yard, so she went out and said to her, "I just came out, and you came here in a hurry?"

Ping'er didn't speak, and handed a letter to Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng opened it and saw that there was an IOU inside.

Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang were in doubt, when there was a commotion outside, it turned out to be Jia Baoyu's servant, Mingyan, clamoring: "Madam, the master is going to kill the second master."

Mrs. Wang didn't care about the Buddhist beads in her hand, she ran out first, and scolded: "What's the matter! What are you doing beating Baoyu?"

Mingyan cleverly ran to Mrs. Wang's side, and whispered: "Someone told the master that the second master and Mr. Qin Xiaoxiang had worshiped brothers Qi, and everyone in the capital knew that the master was angry and wanted to kill the second master. "

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her head shook and she almost lost her breath.
